Tonhaus
Since 2013, Gian Luca Bartellone has been represented at Tonhaus in Bolzano’s Rauschertorgasse – a contemporary art space that unites art and craft with sensitivity. A close collaboration with owner Christine Mahlknecht and a solo exhibition in 2021 make Tonhaus a special home for his work.
Leipzig, Germany
Grassi Museum of Applied Arts
In 2012, Gian Luca Bartellone received the Grassimesse Award – a distinction that led to the acquisition of the necklace Kardia and the bracelet Pelagos into the permanent collection of the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig. An ongoing relationship has grown from this: his work is documented in the 2016 publication “25 Jahre schenken und fördern”, listing all museum acquisitions, and featured in the 2023 SM*CK Magazine article “The Object”, which placed two pieces from the collection in dialogue with one another.
